Thank you for supporting Through to 2

The first two years of a baby’s life are so important for their future. If babies don’t have the proper food and care during this special time, the effects can be devastating. Nearly half of child deaths worldwide are linked to malnutrition. And even for those who do survive, many must live with the consequences: they are likely to be small for their age, perform less well at school and be more susceptible to illness.

That's why your support is so important.

The first two years of a baby’s life are so important for healthy development and growth. Watch the video to learn more about how you can improve the lives of children in need.

If a mum doesn’t have enough to eat during pregnancy, it can lead to dangerous low birth weight and poor growth in their children. Your support could help provide antenatal care and nutrition for expectant mums.

When food is scarce due to poor harvests, tragically it’s the children who often suffer the most or die. Your gifts will help provide life-saving food for malnourished children.

Your support will, over the next two years, give very poor children like Chan the chance to grow up healthy.
